Stay Awake to Myself (做清醒的自己)
作词:Aria(艾瑞娅)
作曲:Aria(艾瑞娅)
Used to fear my flaws would show
And everyone would know
Explained every move I made
Afraid of the afterglow
Kept my likings in the dark
Swallowed what I hated slow
Till one day I woke and saw
I lost where I should go
Now I walk behind the crowd
Quiet in my own sound
Don’t rush to say the sweetest lines
Don’t need the taste of being found
Some fights don’t need a winner
Some roads don’t need a partner
Better pause and check my ground
Than run and lose my center
Stay awake to myself
Don’t measure my depth with someone else’s rule
Joy doesn’t need a like from you
Sadness can stand naked too
Give my ears back to my chest
My eyes back to the view
Even if I walk one step less
I owe nothing to the queue
Stay awake to myself
No more fear of falling behind
Your map doesn’t mark my edge
I don’t need your finish line
Let me hesitate all night
Let me stay still and unwind
Morning comes I’ll walk again
Don’t ask how many miles left to find
Now I walk behind the crowd
Quiet in my own sound
Don’t rush to say the sweetest lines
Don’t need the taste of being found
Some fights don’t need a winner
Some roads don’t need a partner
Better pause and check my ground
Than run and lose my center
Stay awake to myself
Don’t measure my depth with someone else’s rule
Joy doesn’t need a like from you
Sadness can stand naked too
Give my ears back to my chest
My eyes back to the view
Even if I walk one step less
I owe nothing to the queue
Stay awake to myself
No more fear of falling behind
Your map doesn’t mark my edge
I don’t need your finish line
Let me hesitate all night
Let me stay still and unwind
Morning comes I’ll walk again
Don’t ask how many miles left to find
This is me not perfect but whole
Before the light I know my soul
Winds can turn but won't take my heel
Awake ones kneel to nothing but what they feel
